Jimmy "allen" Allen produced another world-class display to inspire SK Gaming to a 16-11 win over Made in Brazil.
This was a rematch of the thrilling Extreme Masters LA Final, which saw SK Gaming being crowned champion after coming from the Lower Bracket.

SK Gaming proved to be too strong for Made in Brazil on de_train that night, and history repeated itself this Sunday.

The Swedish side won the knife round, which allowed it to start the match as Counter Terrorist, which it used to its advantage.

SK easily won the pistol round and went on to take the next two rounds. A well-planned eco by mibr on inner bombsite four rounds into the game almost gave the Brazilians their first round but allen and Tentpole took control of the situation.

It would take mibr two more rounds before it could claim its first of the game. A great round by cogu saw him killing 2 SK players before winning a 1-on-2 situation to put the game 6-1.

SK Gaming would win the next four rounds and it appeared as though the Swedish team would thrash the Brazilian squad but Made in Brazil was able to claim the next four rounds to get itself back in the game, with the last one being decided in a clutch round by nak, who took Tentpole and walle by surprise.



As CT, Made in Brazil won the pistol round to hand itself a lifeline but it wasn't enough as SK would take the third round, with Tentpole and walle killing two opponents each.

Made in Brazil was never able to stamp its authority on the game as CT, and SK Gaming would win the game 16-11, with allen in great form.

SK Gaming is now through to the Grand Final, while Made in Brazil has been sent to the Lower Bracket, where it will take on fnatic for a second chance to beat SK in Montreal.
